Congratulations to Grady and Connie Sparks on the purchase of their brand new 2009 American Tug 34 “LoriLee”.  Grady and Connie hail from Birmingham, AL and plan to cruise the Pacific Northwest for the next year before shipping their boat back to Alabama next fall. They are enjoying the growing American Tug family having met many fellow owners at the recent owner’s rendezvous in La Conner, WA.  The Sparks bought their new yacht with the help of Jeff Carson at Marine Servicenter on Lake Union.
